#ALLMAROONEVERYTHING

Hopefully in New Orleans these will be more than just pixels on a computer screen. Created with Clark Ruhland's uniform builder.

I've been struggling to write this post for the last couple of days. I've been going back-and-forth in my head, trying to put my finger on why we want to see the Hokies decked out head-to-toe in all-maroon. It's undeniable they're sharp as hell. Stare at them for just a couple of seconds and they snarl and bite at you. They clock a 4-4 forty, they got heart. They're as "Virginia Tech" as the Hokie Stone that watches students get stung by the wind as they walk across the drillfield in the winter. They're simple, not overstated, perfect for a team that carries a lunchpail to work.

There's no mention of pants. Of course not, that Tweet ran out of characters, and it's not worth noting we'll wear the same old white pants. That was me being logical. However, my initial conclusion was presuming and irrational: @VT_Football neglected the pants because they want the all-maroon uniforms to be a surprise. That's what I want to believe.

I don't know if the Frankinator, John Ballein or the seniors picked Sugar Bowl uniform. I don't know if it's possible for Nike to make the pants in time for the game. And for all I know white pants (or, gasp, orange) could be a done deal. But if anyone is listening, and is open to a suggestion, a lot of Hokies, the same Hokies who buy tickets (even proxy tickets) and travel for the team really want to see #ALLMAROONEVERYTHING in New Orleans.
